This has old school flash game energy and I love it.
After a length of development that - if I truly, deeply thought about it, I would instantly go insane as if I'd opened some Lovecraftian skin-bound tome - our narrative city-builder Generation Exile has launched out of Early Access into full 1.0 today!

We discuss Dosa Divas on the podcast (out Friday) this week and have an interview with @ekanaut.bsky.social about it's development, but TL:DR is it's a really fun & engaging game with solid turn based combat, charming art & animation, and funny, humble story. Certainly Outer Loop's best game yet.
Absolutely incredible.
We're utterly stunned. Thank you for all the kind words and Accorgion GIFs

This 100%. Just ask!
Same way we require license plates so you can't just ram a car into someone and drive off.
Yeah 100%. It really annoys me that there's no legal repercussions at the moment. Or at least, maybe there will be, but actually finding the responsible person is incredibly challenging.
Maybe we need something like bot actions being "signed" by a human if they are going to act in public.
Yeah what a wild article. To be fair I assumed this was aimed at the owner of the bot - to try to get them to fess up or be better.
The most important aspect of any enduring work of art, from ancient Greek sculpture to music to cinema to video games, is that the longer you study it, the more coherence and craftsmanship you can appreciate. The human(s) become evident. AI-generated material is exactly the opposite — it makes sense only at a glance, and deeper inspection only reveals its lack of intentionality.
Just started reading and this part really gets to the heart the issue with AI
Sometimes I think I use kinesthetic for the same purpose. Full of movement.
Thinking it through: the first derivative tells you how much the probability increases as you change the "outcome" value. That's already kind of a weird concept tbh. Basically "as we get closer to a specific situation of interest, does the probability get higher or lower?"
Huh .. yeah that's pretty interesting. I guess statistics rarely cares about the acceleration of the distribution curve itself and more about the integral under it.
2nd derivative is zero there I guess!
Maybe it's flipped: the concept of "1 deviation" is based on the position of the inflection point (or derived from a related value?)

"Years and years ago, there was a production of The Tempest, out of doors, at an Oxford college on a lawn, which was the stage, and the lawn went back towards the lake in the grounds of the college, and the play began in natural light. But as it developed, and as it became time for Ariel to say his farewell to the world of The Tempest, the evening had started to close in and there was some artificial lighting coming on. And as Ariel uttered his last speech, he turned and he ran across the grass, and he got to the edge of the lake and he just kept running across the top of the water — the producer having thoughtfully provided a kind of walkway an inch beneath the water. And you could see and you could hear the plish, plash as he ran away from you across the top of the lake, until the gloom enveloped him and he disappeared from your view. And as he did so, from the further shore, a firework rocket was ignited, and it went whoosh into the air, and high up there it burst into lots of sparks, and all the sparks went out, and he had gone. "When you look up the stage directions, it says, 'Exit Ariel.”

I have a lot of difficult days. Making games is hard. Balancing the needs of everyone trying to just make a game is also hard. And the universe keeps tossing planet-sized meteors.
But the little moments of kindness makes it worth it.
“But what’s it all for?” I asked Oliver, to which he relied, “To make rocks kiss.”
